To say that Ariana Grande had a tumultuous 2018 would be an immense understatement. Over the last couple of years, adversity and turmoil have seemed to follow the massively popular 25-year-old vocalist seemingly in every direction.
After a traumatizing terrorist bombing at one of her shows, the tragic death of her ex and fellow musician, Mac Miller, and a short lived engagement and unfortunate break up with Pete Davidson, Ariana has had a lot to process.
The release of “Sweetener” in 2018 seemed to address the Manchester bombing, which occurred several months prior, through catharsis and uplifting sounds.
